very old unfortunately

My family and I stayed in the suite, and we honestly didn’t know what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. It was a spacious one-bedroom apartment with a separate lounge area and a lovely balcony. The view from the balcony was beautiful, overlooking the marina and the surrounding buildings. It was especially stunning at night when everything was lit up. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

I think the kitchen could be better equipped with more utensils, particularly forks, knives, and proper kitchen knives. We weren’t able to prepare any meals because there were no kitchen knives available. The stove was also quite difficult to operate, so it would be helpful to have instructions provided for guests. I eventually had to use YouTube to figure out how to use it. The balcony chairs were damaged, so unfortunately we couldn’t sit outside and enjoy the balcony, and the lounge chairs could also use a good cleaning. Apart from these few issues, everything else was good and we enjoyed our stay.

Great location. We have stayed at the Tower a few times as we really like the location.

There were very, very loud renovations happening in adjacent rooms that started around 9am on the 3 mornings we were there. We were not advised in advance of this. When we complained they offered to change our room, which begs the question, why were people booked into rooms affected by ear splitting noise. We were given a discount after discussion with a reluctant manager.

Perfect spot with views of the Tower Bridge. Close to Tower of London and easy access to the tube. Breakfast was included in our room rate and this was a great way to start the day.

Mould on the bathroom ceilings, beds were not comfortable. Glasses had someone else’s lipstick marks

The location of the hotel is fantastic. The views are amazing looking over Tower Bridge

The rooms are long over due a refresh. Ours had; - Chipped paint on walls - Black mould in bathroom - Room furniture outdated 80-90s decor - Furniture scuffed and grubby The price per night is far more than I would generally pay for a room of such poor quality. It’s a bit rich that they charge full price for such tired, grubby rooms.

Close to everything. Loved the view!

Unfortunately the UK isn’t prepared for hot weather. Consequently the room was hot. Luckily we are Australian and were able to cope with the heat in the room.

Location was good. I did not eat breakfast at the hotel. Concierge service was wonderful

Room was very dated. Toilet paper holder loose on the wall so that the roll fell off. No mini fridge to store food and drink items. Tub and shower looked very old.
